Edward,
As of 13:00 hours today, the first iteration of Project Far Horizons has lost contact. Preliminary examination of starship logs reveals that the ship was likely pulled from hyperspace by a large xenobiological cluster. Contact was lost after multiple hull breaches were recorded. Recommended that we outfit the next expedition with more powerful weaponry. Should we begin production of a second-generation starship?

Tom,
As per our meeting yesterday, production of the second-generation intergalactic starship Second Contact has been authorized. I must reiterate again, however, that rescue operations for the IGS Far Horizons have not been authorized, and will not be until such a time comes that we have positive evidence of their survival. This includes sending the new starship in the same direction as the Far Horizons. Please ensure that the changes we discussed yesterday are incorporated into the IGS Second Contact.
Thank you,

POV: ????
It was relaxing in the reflections of the Mother Below when it happened. An unnatural construction of metal and fire plummeted from the skies above, flattening it instantly. The construction had seemingly come from nowhere, suddenly simply appearing above the Mother. A group of its fellows had left the Mother to dispose of the disgusting thing, tearing large chunks of metal from it as it screamed and flailed with little success. That was where things started going poorly. The behemoth of steel had suddenly rocketed towards the Mother, losing more and more of itself as it began to burn. Of course, it hadn't really been paying attention. It was too busy simply relaxing in the comforting glow of the Mother. And so it was until the mass of metal slammed into it.
POV: IGS Far Horizons
The crew had finally began to stir as the ship's diagnostics finished. The IGS Far Horizons had been suddenly yanked from extradimensional space as it traveled out of the galaxy, only to be soon after beset by a swarm of medium-sized xenoforms. The crew had mounted a valiant defense, but there were ultimately far more of the creatures than they could feasibly shoot down. Fortunately for them, there was a planet-sized piece of spatial debris nearby for them to stage a crash landing on. That, however, was where their fortune ended. The starship had come down in the middle of an inexplicably lush jungle - a near-impossibility considering the absolute lack of light present for it to use to grow. And, as if to make matters worse, all of the plant life was in some way cognitohazardous. And, on top of that, the ship had come down directly on top of a still-living creature. It didn't seem terribly motivated to move, but removal would be a nightmare.
The crew itself had been largely knocked unconscious during the crash landing. The ship's exterior was heavily damaged and was definitely not spaceworthy. And, to make matters worse, one of the space creatures from earlier had managed to completely destroy the long-range communications array. Fortunately, the planet seemed to have a breathable atmosphere, and they had landed somewhere that wasn't likely to outright kill them before they awakened. The ship finished system diagnostics, already compiling a list of necessary repairs to forward to the onboard mechanic. Furthermore, the captain was awake.
"Good morning, Captain Nyx. Emergency landing procedures have been completed successfully. Would you like a report on the status of the ship and crew?"
A few of the others of the crew were beginning to awaken as well. The AI made sure to flag them with a request to meet in the onboard gathering room.
"I have taken the liberty of requesting all members of the crew to gather in the common space when they awaken. Please move in that direction at your earliest convenience."
